indrasenareddy | why is it not B. Can the reserves of the Bank - assets ? |
2014 | Why not B as answer as it specifies cash in bank vault and "its" deposits with federal reserve bank. By specifying its it implies reserve on this cash is already deposited with fed |

ibrahim18 | Cash in the vault is depositor's money. This is a liability to the bank and not an asset. Thus, the answer cannot be B. It's not A either. |
xp_acctant | @Ibrahim18: deposit is a liability while cash is an asset to the bank. |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
